as hand is making most of my connections quite
superficial’
‘Instant Messaging has not improved the quality
of my relations, maybe the quantity’.

as many times as you wish, then the content of the
communication itself risks to become superficial, trivial
and insignificant.’

What is next
EMOJIMARKETING
‘in an increasingly technology-
driven world, emotion is either
absent or
oversimplified.’(Affectiva,2015)
When we digitize emotion, it can
enrich our technology, for work,
play and life.
Understand how
consumer feel
Adapt a personalised
messages, in a highly
personal experience
CONCLUSION
So.. What we found?
Instant Messaging &
Interpersonal
Communication
Instant Messaging &
Consumer Behaviour
Instant Messaging
& Emotions
• People rather text than
talk, even if face-to-face
communication is more
effective
• Ubiquitous use of mobiles
• IM’s heavy users tend to
be more outgoing,
assertive and curious
• However, younger
generation are conscious
about self-esteem issues
caused by IM
• People have obstacles
interpreting emotions
online
• People enjoy using emoji
• People appreciate brands
using emoji, in the right
context
Recommendations
Interesting behaviour’s
patterns linked to IM
Research into consumer’s
behaviour on IM could
define a richer consumers’
profile and potential
unfilled consumers’ need
WhatsApp predominance
Considering Whatsapp as
a platform not just as a
tool. Researching into new
language patterns
Emotions
Invest into emotional
measurement technology
First step
• Underexplored desire for a
richer emotional
communication
• A need to understand to
integrate it without losing the
importance of FTF interactions.
To Conclude
Thank you

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. how Instant messaging is affecting interpersonal communication and if IM could translate emotions as effectively as FTF communication. The aim of this research is to fill this gap, and thus to understand how this change in communication is affecting the world of fashion marketing and branding.
  2. To successfully achieve the purpose of this research, it has been used a variety of tools to better understand the complex scenario of digitally-mediated communication. An extensive secondary research has been completed, with attention to use different resources as books, journals, newspapers and reports, to acquire the necessary knowledge to carry out thoughtful primary research. The primary investigation has been balanced to obtain quantitative and qualitative data, which were often interconnected.
  3. DIGITAL REVOLUTION HAS FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED HOW PEOPLE COMMUNICATE TODAY.
  4. DIGITAL REVOLUTION HAS FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED HOW PEOPLE COMMUNICATE TODAY.
  5. If Facebook opens up WhatsApp to marketers, brands can ‘for the first time start to fully interact with consumers globally and seamlessly’ with nearly a billion of potential consumers
  6. This hypothesis could be a potential solution to the lack of empathy and non-verbal cues on DMC and the starting point for further research.
